Members of the Montpelier Village

Council convened in regular session to

address a busy agenda on the evening

of October 27.

Council heard the rst readings ofOrdinance 2177 and 2178 pertaining to

the raising of electrical and sewer rates

in the village. Ordinance 2177 allowsfor the sewer rates to be adjusted on

January 1 and July 1, 2015. Ordinance

2178 allows for a revision of the

electrical rates immediately upon thepassage of the measure. Both measures

are advancing under standard rules

of reading. Unless considered anemergency action, there will be two

more public readings of each measure

before a nal vote.Councilor Dan Clum elaborated

on the need for an electrical rate

adjustment, saying, What our rate

consultant has brought to our attention,

that a lot of people may not be payingattention to, is that our power cost

adjustment has been over three cents

for a long, long time. Were pretty much

guaranteed that its not going to gobelow three cents. So, rather than have

this huge power cost adjustment every

month, our rate consultant said that it

would probably be to our benet to justtake some of that three cents and put it

into our rate. We know that electricitys

not going to go down.

Prior to entering the legislativesection of the agenda, Mayor Steve

Yagelski asked village residents to

refrain from raking leaves into thegutter. He said that raking them to

the terrace is sufcient for the vacuumtrucks to pick them up, noting that

once in the gutter, they befoul thestorm sewer system.

Council then turned their attentionto the legislative section of the agenda,and the rst six items, all constructionchange orders, set the tone for most

of the remainder of the section. The

rst was for $10,984.38, and allowedfor catch basins at the intersection of

Columbia and Lawrence Streets to be

relocated as part of the undergroundutilities pertaining to Phase IV of the

Combined Sewer Output Project.

The next three change orders totaled$26,147.82, and drew the ire of theCounselors. All three change orders

were submitted by FET Construction

Services as part of the Airport

Substation Expansion Project, andcommentary about what appeared to be

design team errors was quick to follow.Upon review of the rst change orderfor $17,004.04 for rebar, Councilor DanWillis asked, This was an unexpectedthing? Counselor Clum said, I think

that we need to take a really good, hardlook at our design team for future work.

Errors of omissions are one thing,

but, interjected Counselor Nathan

Thompson; how do you forget rebar?A very disgruntled Council approved

the three change orders for FET.

Council approved a change order of

$1,143.36 for Power Line Supply, whoagreed to furnish a part originally to

be supplied by Brownstown Electric

Supply. Council was presented with

a change order from Brownstown for

a decrease of $204.00 for the part forwhich they say that they mistakenlybid too low. Council is looking into thebid process to see if a binding contract

was in place for the original price, with

potential action to follow.

Prior to adjournment, Council

agreed to the transfer of $15,000 to thePolice Pension Fund, and also agreed

to amendments made to the Montpelier

Fire DepartmentRules and Regulations

manual. These changes

included the addition

of probationary periodlanguage under

reinstatement under

Section VII, and clariedlanguage in the Length of

Service Award Program

under Section XI.

Montpelier May Be SeeingA Hike In Electrical & Sewer

Rates In The Near Future

By: Shar Dimick

THE VILLAGE REPORTER

Area residents gathered at Spangler

Arena to bid on a wide assortment

of donated merchandise at the 52nd

Wauseon Rotary Club Auction,

Saturday, October 25.

From a pair of song birds to a golfcart to a motorcycle to grab bags of

toys, the day-long auction offeredsomething for everyone. Jeff Rupp,

Past President of Wauseon Rotary, said

that from new products, items from

estates, furniture, food items, and gift

baskets, they auctioned off over 1000

items. He said while they work year

round to collect items for the auction,

picking up donations and storing them

in warehouses, the majority of the

donations come in the month before

the auction. On auction day around 60members of the Wauseon Rotary Club

along with some of their spouses and

children volunteered their time to make

the event run smoothly. A few area

auctioneers volunteered their time as

well.

The proceeds from the auction are

earmarked for nishing Phase 2 of theDorothy B. Biddle Park project that

began two years ago. Rupp said that

Phase 2 includes four diamonds with

shorter distances to the home run

fence for boys and girls little league

and softball. The elds, including grassinelds with dirt baselines are alreadycomplete. In addition, he said that the

lights are up, the sprinkler systems

are in, the pads for the dugouts are

poured and the concession stand with

restrooms is nished. Rupp indicatedthat the funds raised from this auction

will pay for completing the fencing and

building the dugouts. The elds will beready for play next spring! said Rupp.

The club hoped to raise $50,000 atthe auction. Rupp said that while they

wont have the nal numbers in for afew weeks, it appears that they will hit

their goal despite a lower than usual

attendance. He said that this year they

gave out about 415 bid numbers, butin other years it can be around 500. He

said, this year was a little slower than

normal; it was just too nice of a day

out. People were working in their yards,

harvesting crops, etc. We do better when

it is cold and rainy.Over the last 10 years, the club has

invested nearly $5 million in the park.

perhaps place a pheasant in the back oftheir coat.

Kevin Carlin and Jayson Scantlen

both provided the dog handling and thedogs to make the day one that wont soonbe forgotten. It was a beautiful day inthe eld with a blue sky and cool breeze,which only added to the fun.

being planted in the elds full of cover toget ready for the start.

Chili, cookies, and drinks were

provided by PF and prepared by thehighly acclaimed Joni Scantlen. Goodfood kept everyone full and happy whilethey waited their turn to hunt.

Before anyone got started hunting forthe day, a safety talk was held to remindeveryone about safe shooting zones,

safe gun handling at all times, safe gun

carries and if there were problems, whatto do and what to expect while out in theeld. Each hunter had someone with

them in the eld to help and nd themwhen they were in the tall grass.

Of the 7 hunters, 2 were girls. They

showed that they could hold their own inthe eld, both in hunting and shooting.Most of the hunters had received theirhunter education training in previous

classes hosted by Pheasants Forever.

A total of 22 roosters were releasedinto the eld for the kids to hunt. Not allbirds were put to bag, but all kids putbirds into the bag.

NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Working smoke alarms can make a life-

saving difference in a re was the message behind the 2014 National Fire Prevention

Weeks campaign: Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!

During this special classroom assembly with Mrs. Amber Doble and Mrs. Brenda

Parrishs second graders (and all assemblies held last month at Edon ElementarySchool), volunteer reghters from Florence Township Fire Department reminded

everyone not only the importance of having working smoke alarms, but to have

them installed outside each separate sleeping area and every level of the home as

well. Additionally, Scott Powell, Brandon Thiel, Joey Thiel, and Corey Oberlin, from

left, shared how everyone in the home should know the sound of the smoke alarm,

understand what to do when they hear it, stay low if they have to go through smoke

and to stay put and answer reghters in a loud voice when they hear them calling.

Birds of a featherock together and theEAGLEs at North Centralare ying in to teach andlearn.

North CentralSchool has a mentoringprogram which standsthe test of time. Startedin 1999, EAGLE(Encouragement Alongwith Gained Learningleads to Excellence)pairs up volunteers

with elementarystudents needing a littleextra attention in theclassroom. This year,many of the volunteersbegan the week of August25th and continueas teachers identifystudents requiring help.

With over 50volunteers, including

junior high and highschool students, someschool staff, retiredteachers, parents,grandparents, and othercommunity members,there is a strong supportsystem which seems to

be the biggest reason forthe programs longevity.

Our North CentralSchools are very lucky tohave such a wonderfulcommunity willing tohelp our children, saidAngie Lashaway, theVolunteer Coordinator.Our volunteers areinvaluable to us! she

added.Angie is in charge ohe

program and feels thereis strong support on allsides. Teachers, schoolstaff, volunteers, andstudents alike give thisprogram a huge thumbs-up. The teachers areamazing and so willingto accommodate, shesaid. One high schoolteacher even gives up herconference period oneday a week.

Julie Taylor, an aidat North Central, said,

The teachers are verysupportive and the staffis amazing to work with.

The school has over30 junior high and highschool students whovolunteer during theirstudy hall, give up partof their lunch hour, andnow help during theafter school program.Volunteers are trained incondentiality and helpin many areas, such asreading, letter sounds,recognizing the alphabet,math, spelling, and more.

The program is

designed to t thevolunteers where theyare comfortable and linktheir academic interestswith the studentsneeds. This helps withthe volunteer/studentbonding and learning.

Those who volunteer areessential to the childrenseducation. I wouldnt

be able to function atthe capacity requiredwithout their help, saidan elementary teacher.

Guidance counselorDiane Veres said, I feelthe interaction with theelementary studentshelps the older studentsas much, if not more,than the younger ones.

The older studentsenjoy the time with the

younger ones; they aremore than willing tospend time, not onlyhelping, but establishing

a relationship withsomeone and being a rolemodel for them!

Some student tutorsare thinking of becomingteachers so being avolunteer helps. Onehigh school volunteersaid, I like being able tohelp someone learn.

The students are notthe only ones bonding.One adult volunteer said,I like the interaction withthe children. I feel if youcan have a positive effecton them at this age it willhelp them in the future.

Its important to let themknow other people care.

The kids truly love thevolunteers.

Over the years,teachers have seen animprovement in testscores. They see the needfor this kind of programin schools. One teachersaid, The volunteers arethere to give additionalone on one support thatthe students are unableto get in the classroom.

It pays off foreveryone. The teachersget much needed helpfor their students, thestudent volunteerslearn the importance ofvolunteering, and thechildren gain condencein their abilities. Dianesaid, The EAGLEVolunteer program isa win-win program foreveryone involved! It is ahuge asset to our schoolsystem!

One adult volunteer,who has volunteeredsince the beginning,said, Over the years Iveenjoyed watching thechildren gain condenceand see their progress

from the beginning of theschool year through theend. This program has asolid foundation with animmense support teamto encourage children tolearn, grow, and somedaygive back.

Susan Goodman Komen, at age thirty-three, received a diagnosis from doctorsthat was as chilling as it was confusing.After all, in 1976, few people knew muchof anything about such a thing, let alonehow to deal with it.

You see, Susan had Breast Cancer.Four years later, she died from

her condition, with her sister NancyGoodman Brinker creating the SusanG. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation,so that those who would come to shareSusans diagnosis would be betterprepared for the ght ahead.

Now known simply as Susan G.Komen For the Cure, the organization hasseen several individuals and companiescontribute to their cause.

Recently, C.K. TechnologiesMontpelier branch, decided to do theirpart as well.

The company held a Cruise-In forCancer on October 24, with proceedsgoing to the Komens charity. PlantManager Jeremie Thiel orchestratedthe event, with team members MelanieBurzynski, Greg Lee, Vincent Kline-Parker, Krystal Hake, Carrie Arnold,Aimee Thorpe, Shelby Thompson, and

Jeanette Hull all proving vital to theevents organization as well.

Most of the cars on display for theevent were provided by the AntiqueAutomobile Club of Americas OhioCommodore Perry Chapter, though someworkers elected to bring their own classicvehicles as well. C.K. set up a 50/50rafe and prize drawings, and soldt-shirts printed by Hammer Athletics inan effort to raise funds for the cause.

Local vendors Cookies on Demand

and Wynns Family Restaurant wereinvited to cater the Cruise-In. Betweenthe two, those in attendance were treatedto hot dogs, chilli, macaroni topped withbacon, and an assortment of home-madecookies. In a truly charitable act, bothvendors donated twenty percent of theirsales to C.K.s Komen fund.

When approached by C.K. about

the charity event, a plethora of local

organizations stepped in to sponsor theCruise-In. Aside from Cookies on Demand

and Wynns, who both took up the

sponsorship mantle as well, Covington

Box, Gofer Auto, Grainger, Grote

Industries, H.E. Rudy, Kaiser Aluminum,

Maumee Valley Vending, McKechnie

Vehicle Components, Mohre Electronics,

Plastic Forming Company, Plastic Service

Centers, Polyone Distribution, Sabie

Innovative Plastics, and the Montpelier

Chamber of Commerce all agreed to

sponsor the event.

Members of various village councilmembers and chambers of commerce,as well as WEDCO board members, wereinvited to be on hand for the Cruise-In.A lot of them showed up to the event toshow their support for the cause.

The Cruise-In raised over $700 forBreast Cancer research overall, a strongshowing for a private event. But it wasthe support shown be the communitiesof Williams County C.K. was able todraw that is the real story here. So manyorganizations came together to makethe Cruise-In possible, with every oneof them aiming to raise awareness ofBreast Cancer.

And Susan Komen had to be smilingdown upon them all.
